Key ingredient in pastel de nata (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egg

(Other definitions for egg that I've seen before include "nit? Just a bit!" , "Urge on the breakfast dish" , "On the face, it's embarrassing" , "Croque-madame ingredient" , "Good, boiled, yoke or head" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
